Clusterfuck Island

Mayor of Honolulu

"If we have 25 now, just local on Oahu with no visitors, what's it look like when we open to visitors? Does that mean we have 75 cases, 80 cases, 100 cases? And it becomes concerning," the mayor of Honolulu lamented during a recent interview. He was addressing doubts about the opening of the floodgates of tourism on August 1st amidst the “super-duper corona” debacle on the mainland empire.

What? No visitors? There have been about 400 tourists arriving and departing daily for over a month. That’s about 5,000 people here on any given day. And, only a handful are actually following the mandatory 14-day quarantine. Yeah, what happens on August 1st, when thousands of tourists are expected to arrive each day?

Addendum: The book, “Escape from Evil,” by the Great Prophet, Ernest Becker, is difficult to locate, no less purchase. It is the follow-up to “The Denial of Death” (recipient of the esteemed Pulitzer Prize). Becker’s writing style can be difficult for some, but the message is much more important.
